1. If they all want to go there, fine

but then can we remove them, and the state, from the the union, since they don't want to be part of us?

[RKP5637]

8. I think it's sinking, so we might have to do nothing except saw it loose from the mainland! n/t

[durablend]

20. Gotta do what gotta do

[CatWoman]

37. that NEVER gets old

[hlthe2b]

2. Geez, if that is not enough to make otherwise sane people avoid moving to Florida...

or consider leaving, I don't know what would be. No escape from some of the most disgusting people on earth.

[Hortensis]

5. Well, advise not holding your breath while hoping yours don't

return to your back yard. Florida's climate and geography alone are not ever even acquired tastes for some, and many people who come so hopefully return to the family and friends they left.

[CatWoman]

16. the snakes, alligators and iguanas are a deal breaker for me.

if the first two don't get you on land, the iguanas get you from above.

i've read they actually fall out of trees when the temps reach a certain level

[Hortensis]

17. Lol, and climb over your garden fences and...scorched earth.

A lot like our herd of deer in GA, I suppose, but to me much less charming. We're looking forward to a new generation of fawns playing in our little pasture.

One thing, trees can get above their reach to survive and stop baking rays before they reach our houses, and we and the earth need MORE TREES.

[Demobrat]

34. You can run away from snakes, alligators, and iguanas.

You cannot run away from sticky heat and mosquitoes as big as your thumbnail. I don’t know how anyone survives a summer there.

[CatWoman]

35. yeah

i've heard about those giant mosquitoes.

AND cockroaches. they absolutely give me the creeps.

[AZ8theist]

39. Pretty tough running away from Fascist dictators as well....

[RKP5637]

47. Yeah, and probably the most difficult. They are very infectious. n/t

[hlthe2b]

24. You are taking tongue-in-cheek comments WAAAAAY too personally.

Every state has its assholes (and at least some proportion are MAGATs)

[CatWoman]

30. HAH!!!

I'm in Georgia and we almost elected a guy who thought he was a werewolf to the senate.

[hlthe2b]

33. Two words: Lauren Boebert

CO has a lot to be proud of and a few like her that bring us everlasting shame.

[Hortensis]

3. We know a former lovely friend of our son growing up who moved to Florida

with his partner (gay) trying to escape rural (!) CA's liberalism. Oh, yeah, great decision!

We haven't spoken in years, but he doesn't understand anything, demonizes what he doesn't understand (how did this happen to such a sweet, fun guy!), and that means he can't be happy anywhere. They've retired to a new home on a pond in a very pretty gated subdivision in FL, though, and I hope they find comfort there. (tRump's part of FL, not a coincidence I'm sure.)

[2naSalit]

4. Ha!

Joke's on them... it's going to sink in a couple years so a mass magamigration is fine with me. Maybe a bunch of them will leave here for the warm Florida beaches.

[quaint]

6. TeeHee, noted the Name people are all on the coasts.

[Hortensis]

7. Few can afford the beaches now. And where the rest are moving

isn't going to disappear any time soon.

But the joke's on those who think they'll now be FL's problem too. As I said above, large numbers who do actually leave their "here" will be returning when they realize not only that some neighbors there don't invite them over either, but their new little low-maintenance houses without trees and leaf rakes turn into ovens every summer in a climate that's trying to kill them, not just their tiny lawns.

There are genuinely good reasons to move to Florida, but fantasy immersion in MAGAland isn't one of them. And there are always MAGAs where they came from, without the alligators.

[Mariana]

45. The Villages and places like it are growing like weeds.

The house prices in those MAGAt meccas keep on going up.

[Axelrods_Typewriter]

14. I read that in 25 years or so vast parts of Florida will be uninsurable.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

53. Yes.

Climatologists' research reveals that in 25 or so years, they'll be scuba diving on Biscayne and Brickell Avenues.

[Mariana]

55. Most of the MAGAts pouring into Florida are retirees.

They don't care what's going to happen 25 years from now.

[CrispyQ]

38. We tried to warn them.

They wouldn't listen.

[RKP5637]

48. Yeah, right color! n/t

[Nictuku]

9. I had some (kind of ex-friends) move there

They bought a house and moved from So. California to Florida's west coast (and were promptly hit with a hurricane - Karma?)

[Mariana]

46. Hurricanes were hitting Florida long before it became a MAGAt magnet.

[kimbutgar]

10. My sister in law who was born and raised in CA lived there when she first got married in 1992

She was there for about 3 years and hated it. She finally got transferred and moved to Arizona to be near her family. I asked her if she wanted to move back there and she couldn’t get the words hell no out of her mouth fast enough!

[Blue Owl]

11. They can have their Feeble, Filthy, Frumpy Florida Fat Fuck

Enjoy!

[Midnight Writer]

12. Co-worker retired to Florida and moved back two years later. His problem with Florida?

Too many minorities.

[Jilly_in_VA]

13. My adopted daughter just left there

Why? She couldn't bear the idea of her 5 year old starting kindergarten in DeSatan's public schools. she's back in Tennessee, which isn't much better, but the town she's in isn't too bad, and at least it's not FloriDUH.

[RKP5637]

49. FloriDUH, it's a diseased state with all the the MAGA slithering there like snakes. n/t

[ancianita]

15. lol Cool graphic, thanks!

Florida's been a quick getaway point from N. America for shady characters, which is why I'd bet they've all been in FL for a long while. Wilbur Ross, former head of Commerce, also lives down the road from him, as did deceased Rush Limbaugh.

[msongs]

19. and al capone...

[wnylib]

41. Don't forget Ted Bundy who fled to Florida.

[RKP5637]

50. ...

[GenThePerservering]

18. Florida has always been an escape hatch

for nut cases.

[malaise]

21. Rec just for the cRtoon

😀😀😀😀

[Septua]

22. If only there was...

..room for all of them.

[mountain grammy]

23. I feel bad for Floridians like my niece and her husband

he's lived there all his life and is disgusted with De Santis.. they both work hard for Democrats. Their son just graduated from college and says he doesn't want to leave but probably will.

[bahboo]

25. lived in South Florida in the 80's....

it was crazy, but a good (mostly) kind of crazy. We were planning on moving to Key West which had always been a dream of ours, but then Covid hit. And then DeDouchebag. As much as we love the keys, we feel like we might have dodged a bullet. So....still happily living in SoCal....we can always visit...

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Great map. Once considered moving there as I had relatives. So glad I didn't.

[NBachers]

27. I lived in Miami in the 70's & 80's. I'm in San Francisco now. Happy to stay in my City By The Bay.

[LoveTheDU]

42. Beautiful view

Thanks for sharing!

[Marcuse]

28. Hmmm.

[LymphocyteLover]

29. all a bunch of nauseating assholes

ugh!!!

[Johonny]

31. Hopefully they're heading there from toss-up states

where the small migration impact might swing states toward sanity.

[AverageOldGuy]

32. Stay there . . .

. . . hurricanes are coming followed by sea level rise.

[NowISeetheLight]

36. Dilute their Vote

Get them all in one place where they only have two Senate seats.

[Historic NY]

40. Wait until the critters sneak up on them..

[IronLionZion]

43. Hopefully they're coming from swing states

making them bluer. Since climate change is a liberal hoax, MAGAts should buy up beachfront property in low lying coastal areas right in the hurricane zone.

[BumRushDaShow]

44. Just the depiction of Rick Ssssssssssssssssssssssccccccccoooootttttt

was worth a DUzy!

[RKP5637]

51. Yeah, that really revealed his inner self! n/t

[meow2u3]

52. Let every MAGAt migrate to Florida

That would make the DOJ's job easier. The entire criminal cult would be in one place.

[lostnfound]

54. Back when I loved Florida I thought "unfortunate that it's shaped like a..."

Apropos.
